“At Meridian Waste, we love what we do, and we thoroughly enjoy sharing our environmental facilities with the greater community with the continuation of Splash Bash for its fourth year in a row,” said Area President Patrick Messinger. “Shotwell Environmental Park is a vital infrastructure asset committed to handling, recycling and disposing of the Raleigh marketplace’s construction and demolition debris (C&D) material in a safe and efficient manner. We will soon be opening our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for greater recycling of our C&D materials, and the MRF preview was definitely the highlight of our hayride landfill tours.”
